This interactive session will outline the benefits of a psychologically safe agency and will offer specific strategies that can be used to address common challenges and create an internal culture of trust, support and open communication in agencies, benefiting officers’ decision making, mental health, job satisfaction, and the capacity to effectively serve and protect the community. While it is a state of feeling supported and accepted and a place where mistakes are treated as opportunities to learn, it isn’t free of accountability or discomfort.

Law enforcement leaders and internal stakeholders are invited to join us to discuss opportunities for growth and enhancement of your organizational culture. Romero Davis (Social Current), Michael Cull (UKY), and Josh Friedman (Ten Eight Innovations) will facilitate a conversation and learning opportunity focusing on pathways to create an environment where staff feel valued, supported, and engaged in creating a sustainable and reliable workplace that enhances outcomes for employees and the communities they serve.

Join this virtual opportunity to discuss upcoming trainings, follow up on Science of Hope practice, year three of the project, and community trust and officer wellness. There will also be time for Q&A. Feel free to bring and invite others!
